I'm reading The Iliad, and I think I can make it into a thing like the Silmarilion in 1000 words of less thing.

BOOK 1:
Agamemnon: Want chick!
Khyses: Give her back
Agamemnon: Want chick!
Khyses: Apollo, he won't give daughter back!
Apollo: *kills Greeks*
Achilles: Give chick back!
Agamemnon: OK, but give me your chick instead
Achilles: *pouts* Mom, he stole my chick!
Thetis: *sigh* Hang on. Zeus, punish Agamemnon
Zeus: *sigh* Hera will hate me, but OK
Hera: ZEUS!
Zeus: Shut up, Hera
